    Windows 10 19042.630, cannot input PIN on login screen


    Hi there!

    Since 3 days I am unable to use a pin or password in the Windows 10 login screen.
    It only work with special characters. Meaning, if I press A I get a special character...

    Last Windows 10 updates installed around 3 days ago were:

    Windows 10 19042.630, cannot input PIN on login screen [​IMG]


    To fix this, I need to click on the on screen keyboard > click it away again and then it works...

    I tried resetting the keyboard language settings in Powershell and also re-adding the keyboard layout.

    Any idea?

    :)

  2. Little to no keyboard input on windows 10 login screen

    I have encountered an issue where only the space bar and enter keys work on login.

    Below is a step by step of what I have found so far:

    1. I restarted my computer - and tried to enter my pin and noticed that nothing was happening and i could not log in but the enter and space keys were working.
    2. I then walked through the change pin process - it through me back to the login screen and inputs worked again.
    3. I then tried running the hardware and device troubleshooter and it found no issues.
    4. I then downloaded the windows diagnostic tool - it repaired two issues in relation to a windows update, on in regards to a corrupt database and another which i cant remember.
    5. I restarted after it fixed these issues and I could log in fine.
    6. I then restarted again to be 100% sure it worked - and behold the issue was back again.
    7. As long as I go into the reset pin process and come back into the login screen again I can then enter my pin.

    I dont know what has caused this issue and if anyone else has encountered it but is there any fixes or other potential solutions could try to resolve this?

    Am thinking at the moment I may have to do a clean install of windows 10 but I would like to avoid that if I can. *sarc

    Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

    I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

    HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

    1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
    2. Then click Language preferences.
    3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
    4. Click the "Region" option
    5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
    6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
    7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
    8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)

    I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

    Hope it will help you, too!
